  • Animal Law News
    Vol. 1 Issue 1 Spring 2016 Published by the Ohio State Bar Association Animal Law Committee Animal Law News An elephant’s journey: How the laws and regulations affecting zoos have evolved leading to the modern zoo If we look back 60 years, which is the average lifespan of an African Elephant, we can witness the significant changes which have occurred in the approach to animal welfare at zoos. There are numerous regulations with which zoos must comply; however, more importantly, rigorous industry accreditation standards have been birthed, driving many zoos in a “race to the top” for excellence in animal care. Our country’s first approach to regulating zoos focused on the control of disease. From the late 1800s to the early 1900s, the Animal Quarantine Laws1 and the Lacey Act2 empowered the president and the Department of the Interior, respectively, to regulate the importation of animals that would threaten domestic animals or humans from disease or other harmful effects.

  • January 9, 2009 Local Government Reform
    JANUARY 9, 2009 LOCAL GOVERNMENT REFORM COMMISSION MEMBERS DEBATE MISSION, RESEARCH compiled from Gongwer Some underlying tensions between different governmental entities already were evident during the inaugural meeting of the Commission on Local Government Reform & Collaboration on Monday. The panel is charged with the sensitive and challenging task of recommending ways to streamline Ohio's multi-layered local government system. Underscoring the varied opinions among panelists themselves, they even voiced differences over whether the first order of business should be to focus on devising a mission statement or to launch into research. A resolution by Ohio State University's John Glenn School of Public Affairs to provide research for the Commission became the subject of debate when Ohio Township Association Executive Director Mike Cochran said he was blindsided by the offer. "That's going to cause the greatest amount of disagreement between us - if people are getting communications and having in-depth discussions while leaving some people out," he said. Mr. Cochran said he was concerned that OSU's offer would give academics too much say over the direction of the commission and he endorsed a suggestion from Co-Chairman Troy for the panel to create a mission statement before pursuing research. "A lot of people sitting around this table, myself included, have preconceived ideas," he said. "I think we need to have a heart- to-heart among ourselves." Former House member Larry Wolpert, who co-authored implementing legislation, said the University previously had expressed interest in assisting the panel in its work and was reaching out to other state institutions to get involved in the effort.

  • Health Education Standards the Ohio Legislature Is
    Support Senate Bill 121: Health Education Standards The Ohio legislature is currently considering Senate Bill 121, which would benefit students in Ohio. Specifically, the bill would allow the Ohio Department of Education to adopt health education standards. Local Matters strongly supports the implementation of health education standards in Ohio, as it lays an important foundation for nutrition education, among other health topics. The bill has bipartisan support and a diverse group of cosponsors. Notably, Senator Peggy Lehner, Chair of the Education Committee, where the bill is currently being heard, is a cosponsor of this important legislation. If you would like to show your support for Senate Bill 121, please contact the elected officials who sit on the Senate Education Committee (see below). If you have any questions about health education standards or the bill, please contact Noreen Warnock, Local Matters Co-founder and Director of Advocacy and Community: [email protected] or 614-263-5662. Key Talking Points: 1) Ohio is the only state in the country without health education standards for K-12 students. 2) Ohio currently faces a public health crisis. Over 33% of children in Ohio have enough excess weight to put them at risk of developing early onset diet-related diseases like diabetes and heart disease.1 3) Senate Bill 121 will help ensure students learn necessary skills to make healthy life choices, such as selecting healthy foods and engaging in physical activity. 4) The cost of healthcare in Ohio required to treat diet-related disease is estimated at $6.36 billion dollars.2 Children’s health complications will only increase economic and workforce burden as the generation ages.

  • Ohio General Election Guide General Election: November 3, 2020
    Ohio General Election Guide General Election: November 3, 2020 Summary of Races: The biggest story in Statehouse races as we approach Election Day is the recent charges that have been brought against Larry Householder. The criminal complaint brought against him alleges he took part in a $61 million racketeering scheme. As the case pends in federal court, many of the campaign funds that the House Republican Caucus rely on for financial support have been frozen and likely will not be able to be accessed until after the election. In what is already a tough cycle because of the presidential election, having the financial resources compromised puts many of the races in question. Having competed against a super majority for several years and seeing the presidential election as a boon for their base, the House Democrats were already looking to pick up quite a few seats. With the new financial woes that the Republicans could face, Democrats see this election as their chance to bring better balance to the party scale in the People’s Chamber. This impact could bleed into the Senate races as well.
